Emile Haynie is a producer from New York who has worked with, well… pretty much everyone. From the roots to Kanye to Eminem to Lana Del Rey, and now he’s made something that’s all about him. His debut album came out in January, it’s called we fall. It’s as full as all-star guests as his producing career has been. In this song you hear from Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt, as we all Brian Wilson. Yes, THAT Brian Wilson…the one form the Beach Boys.

Here’s a brand new Toronto band you may not have heard of yet.

You’ll hear influences like Brian Eno and Roxy Music in this one called “In These Times” by Lobby.

California’s Night Riots sound kind of like if someone made a dance remix of The Killers, or The Cure, — it’s EMOTION! But also kind of a party! Their EP is out now. You can check it out, it’s called Howl. Take a deep breath, this is “Contagious”.
